The Office of Summer and Continuing Studies

The Brandeis Summer School is an open admission program offering courses and special summer programs for college-level credit. Small classes taught by experienced and dedicated Brandeis faculty members are the hallmark of summer offerings. We provide the opportunity to experience innovative course formats, such as online offerings or evening and extended sessions, to accommodate work and other summer activities.

Our Continuing Studies program allows students and adult learners to explore academic interests on a part-time basis as Special Students. Special Students may take one or two classes during the Fall and Spring Term as part-time commuting students on a space-available basis. Special Students must have a high school diploma, GED, or equivalent and are not currently enrolled at another college or university.
